Epic Games has chosen not to distribute the Android release of its popular battle royale title Fortnite on Google Play-or any other app marketplace on the platform. Unfortunately, players will now have to sign up for a wait list before joining in on the fun. You'll find plenty of places you can obsessively check to get a modified.APK onto your device, and your character actually into the game, before Epic closes any workarounds. Epic Games is sending out codes in waves, which could mean that hundreds, possibly thousands, of people are receiving codes every day. Not all Android devices will be able to as you need a recent device with the processing and graphics muscle to handle the game. Mobile users have been trained to go to their device's app marketplace to acquire games, causing most app developers to choose to pay Google's platform fees despite having options to avoid it entirely.

Eager gamers have heard that Fortnite is finally coming to Android, but not everyone is aware that this particular title won't be coming to the Google Play Store, which is the home of nearly every Android app on the planet.

You need to be logged in to post a comment. While one odd move by Epic Games won't be a make or break situation for Google Play revenue (which always lags iOS), if it became the norm, Google's losses could climb. You read that right! The Android operating system allows users to download programs from third party services unlike the iOS, which restricts app downloads to the App Store only. The company believes that the game is famous enough to draw more players to its website, however, many game apps do not have the option to make the same choice. Mobile users are not precisely accustomed to using installers, but this is only something that "Fortnite Android" demands.

At this point, whether you're a gamer or not, there's a good chance that you've at least heard about Fortnite. Yeah, it's one of those, but it's to be expected, considering the scope of the game.
